A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
it doesn’t cause me any big problems
Can you be sure about that?
I have a friend who says he has a terrible memory and he often asks me to tell him about things that happened in the past that we experienced together. You should definitely ask people close to you to do the same.
I have never gone to such extremes. I may confuse trivial details, but at the moment I have not reached the point of being forced to ask others about things that I either misremember or don't remember at all.
Along the same lines, A lot of times I'll think of saying/doing something but then end up second guessing myself so much that I have to look it up just to confirm I'm not wrong. Then I feel even more stupid for not believing myself the first time.
Hmm, I can relate. Memory is leaky, like your dreams can mix in, so don't trust memory, and that's fair. What's the alternative, like are you gonna stop daydreaming? Can you even stop daydreaming? I don't think so. You can only accept / embrace who you are.
I was thinking about trying to stop doubting my memory. To trust more that what I remember happened, and if it didn't, to accept it and move on. I could also take measures, like telling myself "I'm doing this" to make the difference between what I really did and what I imagined.
Ah fair, trust your memory more, yes. Reality check, like biting your finger to make sure you're not dreaming, hard to keep doing lol.
That's why I started writing a diary. On the same day I can still remember very well how things happened, but weeks or moth later I might not. So I write a diary every evening with everything that happened.
